HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2013-10-24, Page 12PAGE 12. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2013. Condolences offered as Raynard, 103, passes away
The weather has certainly changed
since the beautiful weather of
Thanksgiving. All things farming
have come to a halt with the wet, wet
fields. There is always bookwork to
keep up with and chores of course,
but maybe a little extra rest before
the corn harvest starts.
The dull and dreary weather is
obvious with the lack of news. As I
stare out the window, I find itdifficult to think – my brain is alsodull and dreary on this Mondaymorning.
We send get-well wishes or
recovery wishes to Ruth Lowe. She
underwent surgery last week and it is
reported she is coming along nicely.
We hope she is soon home from a
London Hospital, so Murray can
shower her with tender loving care.
Our condolences to the Coleman
family on the passing of Jack
Coleman. I understand Jack was a
member of the Coleman family who
ran a restaurant in Brussels many
years ago.
Our condolences to the family of
Cecil Raynard. An amazing
gentleman living to celebrate his
103rd birthday and walked everyday
up until a short year ago. Our
sympathies to his family.
Members of the supper committee
of Duff’s United Church met to plan
the annual turkey supper. Members
will be contacted shortly about their
volunteering. Please be available to
help when called for Tuesday and/or
Wednesday, the first week of
November. Many hands make light
work. This is the major fundraiser
for the UCW.
The board of Duff’s United
Church met a couple of times this
past couple of weeks. One thing
discussed, was an idea to bring
colour into the service. This week,
we will celebrate the fall and
attendees are invited to wear orange,
to brighten ourselves, our outlooks
and our attitudes.
Celebrating birthdays this past
week include Randy Fraser, Sarah
Grobbink, Jessica Kelso, Mary
Helen McLachlan, Adam Bauer,
Travis Wilts, Harper Lee, BryanKelso, Ron McCallum, Brett Lee,Lois McCall, Janice McGillvary,Michael Parr, Doug Bauer, Wayne Todd and Andrew Groothuis. Happybirthday to all.
Honouring your elders
Honouring The Elders, an exhibit at the Huron County Museum, was unveiled last weekend.
One of the locals profiled in the several one-hour documentaries was Leona Armstrong of
Brussels, right, who is seen here at the unveiling with Morris-Turnberry Mayor Paul Gowing.

Huron East aims
to bill turbine costs
back to developers
Several members of Huron East
Council are concerned that costs
associated with wind turbines
have been slipping through the
cracks.
Councillor Allison Dekroon
raised the issue of the municipality’s
yet-to-be-finalized cost recovery
bylaw. The spirit of the bylaw is to
ensure that any costs incurred by the
municipality due to wind turbines,
whether they be staff time or
damage to municipal roads, be
billed back to the wind turbine
company.
Dekroon suggested that municipal
staff begin to make a list of services
and damages related to wind
turbines, so that if challenged in
court, the list will be comprehensive
and detailed.
Chief Administrative Officer Brad
Knight, however, cautioned council
against spending too much time on
the issue right away. He said that the
time would have to be divided
between the two wind projects
currently proposed to include Huron
East and that time would have to be
allocated properly.
“I’d like to have it all laid out,”
Dekroon told council.
Councillors then asked Knight if
he was preparing a running tally of
the work being done, or if he would
just be billing it all at the end of the
project. If it was to be billed at the
end of the project, councillors said,
that might be contentious.
Knight also said that defining
what can and can’t be recovered by
the bylaw is an important step for
council to take in the near future.
Knight said that he and the rest of
the municipal staff would prepare a
report for councillors to help get the
process started.
